Los Angeles Employment Discrimination Lawyers
Your job is an important part of your life. It gives you the ability to provide for your family and creates a sense of self worth. To some, a job or career defines who they are as a person. It is an identity. When that job is lost or when employment is terminated, the identity is shattered.
This is especially true when employment discrimination is the cause for termination.
Orange County, California, Attorneys Fighting Age, Race and Sex Discrimination
As experienced Los Angeles employment discrimination attorneys, we want you to know that you have the right to be free from discrimination in the workplace.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employers from discriminating against individuals in several protected classes. Under state and federal laws, it is unlawful for an employer to discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, skin color, gender, pregnancy, religious belief, disability, age, and in some cases because of your marital status or sexual orientation.
At Mathew & George, we advocate for employees who have suffered due to employment discrimination. Located in Orange County, our age, race and sex discrimination lawyers handle claims involving various types of adverse employment actions:
- Hiring: Do you believe that you were denied a position due to employment discrimination?
- Wrongful termination: Did your employer wrongfully terminate you because of who you are or what you believe?
- Promotions: Were you denied a promotion to which you were rightfully entitled?
- Demotion: Were you stripped of key duties without reason, resulting in lower pay?
- Unequal pay: Are you receiving lower pay than colleagues in the same position who have the same qualifications and experience with the company?
Employment discrimination claims can be difficult to prove, especially when the employer can bring forth many alternatives for terminating an individual, hiring a different candidate or denying a promotion. Our employment discrimination lawyers assess performance reviews, interview witnesses, analyze employer history of similar treatment and thoroughly investigate other angles of the case in order to fully prepare your case.
We offer honest advice about your case, enabling you to make informed decisions about whether or not to move forward with the lawsuit.
